Well I must say that that over the past few years, the improvements have been astounding. As opposed to definitely getting lost and adding hours to your trip, I’d estimate that, today, the odds off success are about 60/40.
My recent experience with this equipment was personal. here are my observations:
This particular GPS was portable, which [...]

Walter Benjamin Reading
Like a few others in class, I was a little unsure of the time period in which this had been written (yes, I know it says 1935 right on top, but I missed that the first time around). Knowing this date definitely puts his ideas into context. I wonder how he would feel today with [...]

Overall, I didn’t have too many issues… except this:
I was in my area, set up, and ready to go. I had given [...]
